I know many scientists that suffer the same way as I am. No matter how good you are with education and research, when you are an introvert and you have to go for an interview but cannot express yourself clearly under stressful circumstances

Many companies that I personally know they are outsourcing their services to various countries that offer cheap labor and use the local tech companies to take advantage the system (legal wise, low taxation, etc), while using the local staff

I used to look for entry programming positions, because I was IT Network Engineer, Assistant Systems Administrator, and Technical Support Officer my entire career with a 2 year exception as Web Developer with SEO/SMM responsibilities.

It would be better to say "many are hiring" in place of everyone. I'm a Computer Science myself with professional experience in IT since 2004 and I'm unemployed for 2 years now and I cannot get passed a decent interview

I tend to use the following command: kill -HUP $(pidof SomeDaemon) and if it insists on running, I use: sudo kill -9 $(pidof SomeDaemon) That's it, really.

Introversion is not something that can be fixed for the simplest reason: it's a trait not a disease. I really like being an introvert, but I need to figure out ways to make a living by surrounding it. About quitting coffee, I thought a

My major is Computer Science, but my professional experience is around Technical Support. I was never given the opportunity to master a language and I have been experimenting with programming since 2003, always at an academic level. On the

I am in the same situation as you, but without the savings plus I'm unemployed for 2 years now. But why would you say such thing? You had nothing as a child and used that as your strong motive, you have managed to save some money and i

When they throw the 'overqualified' term, what do they actually mean by it?

The size of a C++ binary file that has been constructed with a modern, up to date compiler can produce the same size as that of C. I have tested this a year ago with both clang and GCC, and the optimized, stripped down binaries were identic

You can write exception free code since C++11. All you must do is to add noexcept operator at the end of your function that you don't want to throw an exception and that would do. Also, in the article it states that cars are using C. I

I would be more than interested to see a demo code using pseudo-language to explain exactly the concept you have in mind. That would be more than interesting for lots of us and you never know; we might get something out of it and why not im
